It cost the same to build a ITC car as a ITB car or almost ITA VW. The for sale price is not near as much for ITC as ITB. Go as fast as you can forthe cash . it is a ton cheaper to buy than build. ...

JRW, All I have seen you lift is a donut. Wimp. Lock it up , add castor and go fast.
Who the heck would race a car on ice???
What were you thinking? MM

HT, bigger cam, more comp,bigger throttler body. I've had and built both. HT much faster if they are legal. IMHO. I have a Jetta and a Rocco, guess which one gets the good stuff?
The A2 can...

A crooked rear end is what the roundy type cars some times use to help turn in while keeping the stagger as low as possible.
On my ice racer turned oval car, I ran over 1In toe out ,right rear.

PS. If you can get to figuring in MM,it goes faster than inches. And Mark you are right about the rear toe. Total toe counts . but just shimming one side out makes a big difference both ways!! Also...

For a faster,more accurate "BOX", take two 2x4s or 1x2" BY 80" LONG. MEASURE THE WIDTH OF YOUR CAR, ADD 8". Now take both pieces off wood, clamp next to each other in a vice. hack saw slots at...

JH is a good 15hp shorter than a HT, both with legal cams. and compression. If ya got a Jh and 10-1 and a G cam than that is about the same as a stock /legal HT.
So; if the JH- GTI is running...

I think that ALFA lifters are the same size and take the shim in the bottom . The adjuster shim comes out and hits the side of the bucket. Messit up good.
Check with Darrel at Techtonics, It has...

400# will work OK with Bilsteins on the street. Lower tillthe A arms are flat or justa bove. Watch the body near the axles on the pass side for rub, then lift it up a bit.MM

I thought I was the only guy to use a locker.

It is faster. I also use rear toe out to keep it loose, with a smal rear bar. No front bar. Soft springs(400/300)MM

What you guys mean is distributer phasing. The spark needs to show up at the rotor at the right time. So that the rotor is pointing at a plug post ,not between them. this happens a lot when you...

Mobil One, warm the oil before you twist it, Dummy light.

Spend some time degreeing the cam and the crank to a true TDC. TRy a stock cam, look at the plugs to see that they match and are brown or dark gray. Time the engine at 4000 or more and be sure that...

There is also a external difference, The hydro has two alternator bracket bosses, the solid has only one(USUALLY). FYI the Rocco only had a Solid head. The best ones are late 86-87 heads. The hydro...

I use a adjustable bar that slides in and out of tubes,at the control arms. The tubes have sinch bolts to stop it. The cross tube is hollow 1" and the end tubes are a snug fit into the slider...

9A and 3.9 with 13" tires .welded. fastest anywhere with legal cam. You should have to shift at LR and at the top of the hill at WGI. A 3.67 will allow to carry 3rd between 8and9 at WGI but slow...

85-88 Golf with air rad cools 175hp. It is pretty long,fits the stock holes. Hoses are easy also. Irun this in all VW race cars in FL. Auto Zone ,about 80$ MM

I have or had a lap record at Sebring with a welded diff. ITB VW, not a Honda.
The locked was hard to drive and scary at first, but I took all the rear stiffness out and went 2-3 sec faster. 2:48...

We used to buy 4 boxes of springs and take the best. Now they have some that dont break. Luckey for us most break somthin else. MM

Some of the US cars had TORX style bolts, not 12 point,. MM

Forged has been legal from day one. Still are. All of those Volvos that turn 8k have forged pistons and weird valve springs.
Stock VW pistons are fine under 8k You will run out of air well...

Its only exotic when you need parts for it.

The allens work and so do the 81-83 style torx head ones are the best, . Yes you should hand torque em.
